I’m in Las Vegas this week for Ready and Inspire, Microsoft’s internal / external conference, and have been teaching colleagues how to create their own ML / DL models and deploy them to the cloud for customers to consume. The AI team at Microsoft has also done a great job of putting together resources for…

My talk for the Georgia Game Developer’s Association last month is now on YouTube. Thanks again for the opportunity! The game development landscape in 2018 is vast, with handheld devices, consoles, PC, and even mixed reality. With so much out there, it can be staggering to get started, even if you’re a veteran. During…

I just returned from one of Microsoft’s Open Hack events in Toronto, where we coded alongside engineers from several other companies across the region. Link to the GitHub repository One of the challenges required that we’d be able to deploy a trained model to Azure, which would expose an HTTP endpoint. From there, we’d be…

You can find the job posting here. I don’t have you tell you how much I love my job, as I’m sure you already know. I work on the Commercial Software Engineering team at Microsoft, where we build cutting-edge solutions with customers and partners around Microsoft’s newest technology. The role says Washington, DC, but it’s…

I gave a talk to one of our internal groups at Microsoft today on Progressive Web Apps, PWAs, and thought the notes would also be helpful for those of you interested. I’ve recorded videos on Hosted Web Apps in the past, and they are equally useful, so I’d suggest taking a look at those first.…

Facebook and Microsoft are today introducing Open Neural Network Exchange (ONNX) format, a standard for representing deep learning models that enables models to be transferred between frameworks. ONNX is the first step toward an open ecosystem where AI developers can easily move between state-of-the-art tools and choose the combination that is best for them. ———————–…

Part of my job this year had me building prototypes with partners across the country. This is one I am particularly proud of, and I contributed to the Xamarin component of it. You can find a detailed technical analysis here, but I’ve put a synopsis below. ———————– @DaveVoyles Subscribe to my startup, tech, and game…

While I was at a code camp in Minneapolis this weekend, several of my peers told me I could quickly spin up an FAQ bot, which would be far more interesting (and interactive) than a boring FAQ page. They said it could be done in minutes, and I was up for a challenge, so off…
